Yes, We Have No Gas Today

I pulled my sexy beast of a news vehicle, a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, into the Warrenton Texaco to fuel up. And what greets me, but the gas pump handle wrapped in a plastic grocery bag. I got to wondering, when did that become the universal sign that either the pump's not working or we're out of gas? Someone says, "The pump's not working." And someone else says, "Well, go wrap it in a grocery bag."

I wonder why they don't come up with a system to let you know they are out of Twix?
